The L. D. Institute of Indology has great pleasure in publishing the book entitled Haribhadra's works and Psychosynthesis containing the three lectures delivered by Dr. S. M. Desai in 1973. First two lectures have already been published in our Research journal Sambodhi Volumes VIII-IX.
Ac. Haribhadra (c 750 A. D.) was a profound and prolific writer. His contribution to Yoga is remarkable. He was well acquainted with different systems of Yoga, viz. Jaina, Bauddha and Vedic. Hence his treatment of Yoga is comprehensive. He was free from theological secterianism to a rather extraordinary extent. lo Yogadrstisamuccaya ho attempted a synthesis of various Yaga systems,
Dr. S. M. Desai presents in this work a study of Haribhadra's Yoga works. He has utilized not only the original Sanskrit works but also the systematic expositions of modern scholars. He has tried to be as lucid as possible. He deserves our thanks for the same.
We hope that this work would be useful for a comparative study of Yoga as understood in the differont schrols of India.
